Aspicilia inornata Arnold

Syn.: Lecanora inornata (Arnold) Zahlbr.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks,

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: this species, which has been frequently confused with A. viridescens, grows on periodically submerged schistose rocks along brooks, mostly in the mountains.
